Darkstalkers: Prison
A/N: I don't own Darkstalkers
Chapter 1: Arrival
You would think that going to prison would be the worst thing in your life. Well now I'm going to some military prison for who knows what and to make matters worse I was told that it contained some Darkstalkers. I only knew a little about Darkstalkers from some rumors and those rumors weren't the good kind. My parents tried to find a way to get me out but failed. Right now I'm in a hummer with two military officers sitting in front and beside me, each holding sub-machine guns. I looked out the window and saw that there were no street signs, lights, or anything. After twenty minutes I saw the prison. It looked like a regular military base except for a few things. It had at least half a mile of open field and at the end of the field it had a 15 foot high fence with wire at the top.
"That fence is electric and has a special feature. If you try to climb over it it will adjust the electric current to a level that won't kill you. That is of you can make it to it without being shot by the snipers." the officer next to me said.
I looked forward and saw that the officer in front of me looked a little upset. We then pulled up to the gates and drove in. Then we stopped near the front and got out and walked in. After a few minutes passed as we were walking down the hallway when a man came around the corner and stopped in front of us.
"General!" the officers said saluting him.
"Lieutenants." he said saluting back.
"Sir what are you doing here?" the lieutenant to my left asked.
The general just smiled and said "You boys should know I always come to see the new prisoners."
He then bent over and I was able to get a better look at him. He had white hair and looked like he was in his mid 40s. He grabbed my chin and turned my head left and right. I shrugged his hand off and he just laughed.
"Ha-Ha! This one has spunk! We'll take him to the doctor and we'll see what kind he is." he said.
"Yes sir." both lieutenants said.
"But before we do anything allow me to introduce myself. I am General Luke Marshall. I am the warden around here. The man to your left is Lieutenant Mark Tanner and the man to you right is Lieutenant Gill Scott. They will be you guards. Now what is your name?" Luke said.
"Kyle, Kyle Davis." I answered.
"Well lieutenants why don't you take Kyle down to the mess hall for something to eat and see how the other prisoners like him. When you're done you can take him to his cell." Luke said.
"Sir, what cell is he in?" Mark asked.
"307." Luke said.
Both lieutenants looked shocked.
"But, sir the other person in that room is..." Mark said but was interrupted.
"Now, Now don't worry he'll be just fine. Now get going." Luke said.
"Yes sir." the lieutenants said urging me to walk on and for a second I felt a strange energy coming from General Luke as we walked past him but I ignored it.
After a few minutes of walking we approached the doors to the mess hall and I felt that same strange energy coming from behind the doors only this time it was much stronger.
"The two people you want to stay away from is Dimitri and Morrigan. Plus you'll want to try and be friends with Felicia. She's kind and won't harm you." Mark whispered to me.
"Thanks." I said.
They then opened up the doors and I was surprised to see that there weren't as many as I thought there would be. There was at least 35 Darkstalkers of many different kinds. When I stepped into the room they all started staring at me
"Just keep walking to that empty table to your left. Don't look at them. Just keep walking." Mark whispered.
I nodded my head and continued walking but as I walked I was able to hear the Darkstalkers whisper to each other. I always had heightened senses for as long as I could remember but even though they were whispering it sounded as if they were talking out loud.
"What's a kid doing here?" a cat woman whispered to another.
"He looks a little young to be in prison." a werewolf whispered.
"Young? I'm 21 damn it!" I thought. Of course I always got that every time I tried to get a job. Despite my age I still look like a teenager.
I then sat down at the table and everyone continued their conversations.
"I'll go get you something to eat. Watch him Mark." Gill said walking off.
We sat down and said nothing for a few minutes.
"It's not so bad here once you get use to it." Mark said breaking the silence.
"I bet it is." I said sarcastically.
"Do you have any idea why you were brought here?" Mark asked.
"Heck if I know." I said.
"MARK!" someone yelled.
I quickly looked around for the source. Them I looked at Mark and saw that there was a cat woman on him and he was laughing. She had long blue hair and had white fur on several parts of her body. She also had cat paws on her hands and feet and also had cat ears, a cat tail, and green cat eyes. I felt myself having a nose bleed because boy did she look hot!
She then got off Mark and said "So Mark who's the new guy?"
"His name is Kyle. Kyle I'd like you to meet Felicia." he said gesturing to the cat woman.
"Nice to meet you. " I said wiping my nose quickly and extended my hand.
She took my hand and shook it roughly.
"Nice to meet you!" she said with a smile.
Then three other cat women came over.
"Hey Felicia who's the new guy?" one of them said.
"This is Kyle." Felicia said. Then saw that the other cat women each had different fur colors.
One had blonde hair and orange and white striped fur and had green cat eyes. Another had black hair and had black and grey striped fur with a little bit of white and had blue cat eyes. The last one also had black hair and had black fur and had yellow cat eyes. I felt my nose bleed again and that seemed to make them laugh. I quickly wiped my nose again.
"Well I have to admit this kid sure is cute." the orange one said.
I blushed slightly.
"Oh how rude of us. My name is Rebecca. The blonde is Jesse and the solid black is Anne." the black and grey one said.
"It's nice to meet all of you." I said shaking their paws.
"So this is what the fuss is all about? Fresh blood for me to suck dry!" someone said from behind me.
I turned around and saw a man that was pale and had orange hair and a woman with green hair and had bats wings and had a smaller pair of bat wings on her head. Felicia and the others hissed.
"Back off Demitri and Morrigan." Mark said in a threatening tone while standing up.
"Oh come on Mark loosen up a little." Morrigan said distracting Mark.
Then I was yanked up out of my sit and was facing Demitri.
"I'm tired of bagged blood! I want something fresh!" he said.
I quickly threw a punch at him hitting him square in the face.
"Why you little brat!" he shouted.
He then threw me halfway across the room and I ended up against the wall.
"Kyle!"Mark shouted.
I shook my head to get rid of the dizziness.
"You will be my lunch!" Demitri shouted running at me.
Mark and Felicia tried to come and help me but were held back by Morrigan. I then felt something stir within me and my head started throbbing and I then had images of a war running through my mind. I then saw a man hold out his hand and shouted two words. But before I could see what happened the image disappeared. Demitri was ten feet away from me and was closing in.
"I don't know what that was but I have to do something." I thought.
I then stretched out my arm and pointed my palm at Demitri who was now five feet away.
"Dragon Cannon! " I shouted.
Two flamed dragons erupted from my palm and spiraled around each other and headed straight for Demitri. I noticed that one flame dragon was blue and the other was orange. The attack hit Dimitri head on and drove him straight through the wall on the other side of the mess hall and left scorch marks in a straight line. The attack dispelled and left everyone shocked including me. I looked down at my arm and noticed it was slightly burned all the way to my elbow and I also felt drained. Mark ran over to me and checked my arm.
"It's not badly burned but it does need to be treated. I'll take you to Doc so he can patch you up." he said helping me to my feet.
"I'll come with you." Felicia said gently grabbing my burned arm.
As we were leaving I saw Dimitri crawl out of the hole in the wall and get surrounded by military officers.
"Did you see what that kid just did?" an officer whispered.
"Yeah there's no mistaking it. That was the Dragon Cannon. I've only heard that the most skilled Darkstalkers can perform it." another whispered.
"Wait, does that mean I'm a Darkstalker?" I thought as we exited the mess hall.
We continued walking for five minutes until we arrived at a clinic.
"Doc, you here?" Mark said.
"Yes, I am. I'll be right there in a second." someone said from behind a curtain.
Mark and Felicia then helped me over to a bench.
"Now don't be scared of Doc, okay?" Mark said to me.
"Why would I be scared of a doctor?" I said.
"Because I'm a Darkstalker as well." the same voice said from behind the curtain.
"Mark, would you and Felicia please step outside. I'll send Kyle out when I'm done with him." the voice said.
"How does he know my name?" I thought.
"Alright Doc I'll leave him in your care. Come on Felicia." Mark said walking out with Felicia right behind him.
Once they were gone I braced myself because I had no idea what this Doc guy looked like. For all I know he could be scary looking. Then the curtain was pulled back and standing in front of me was a seven foot tall fox with orange fur wearing a lab coat and a pair of glasses and was holding a file in his paw.
"He's not as scary as I thought he'd be." I thought.
"Hello Kyle. My name is Matthew Dean but everyone around here calls me Doc." he said extending his paw.
I then shook his paw-like hand with my good arm.
"Now let's have a look at that arm of yours." he said taking out some ointment and some bandage wrappings.
"Why don't you explain to me what happened." he said applying ointment to my burn marks.
I explained to him that when Dimitri threw me and came after me that I felt something inside me stir and had images of war. I also told him about the man I saw in an image who used the Dragon Cannon and when the image dissappeared I held out my palm and did it as well.
"Very interesting. It's surprising to hear that you were able to perform the Dragon Cannon." he said wrapping my arm.
"Why is it surprising?" I asked.
"Because only the most skilled werewolves can perform it." he said as he finished wrapping my arm.
"Whoa! Wait a minute! Are you saying that I'm a werewolf? If I am then why haven't I been running around at night howling to the full moon?" I asked.
"Well usually a werewolf's shape shifting abilities are triggered when they turn 21." he said.
"But I just turned 21 last month. Why didn't I change then?" I asked.
"Because after a werewolf turns 21 it takes one month for their body to adjust to the dark energy within them and would change on the full moon of the next month." he answered.
"Now let's see if you are one." he said taking out a needle.
He then withdrew some blood from my good arm and took it and put it in what looked like a computer.
"Now we just wait and see." he said crossing his arms and leaned against the counter.
Then the computer started printing out several sheets of paper.
"Well, let's look at the results." Doc said grabbing the papers and started looking at them.
After a few minutes a smile grew on his face.
"Well this is interesting." he said to himself.
"What is it Doc?" I asked.
He looked at me and took off his glasses.
"Well, these results say that you are a 100% full blood werewolf with a little fox here and there." he said rubbing his eyes.
I was completely shocked at this.
"How can that be?" I asked.
"Well your parents could both be werewolves." he said.
"No, that's not possible. My mom and dad would have told me. They never kept any secrets from me." I said growing angry.
"Well you must consider that they had to keep some secrets from you in order to keep you safe." Doc said placing his paw on my shoulder.
I felt the anger drain from my body and I realized that he was right. My parents always did everything they could to keep me out of harm's way.
"Now why don't you go get some sleep? You've had a long day." Doc said with a smile.
"Alright, thank you Doc." I said exiting out the door.
"Oh and Kyle." Doc said.
I turn around and said "Yeah Doc?"
"I'm sure the next time you use the Dragon Cannon you won't get burned. You'll just have to practice with some other werewolves before you do though." he said with a smile.
I smiled and left. I saw Mark and Felicia sitting on a bench and when I got close they instantly stood up.
"So did you find out if you're a Darkstalker or not?" Mark asked looking upset.
"Yeah, I'm a Darkstalker." I answered.
"Did Doc tell you what kind you are?" Felicia asked.
"Yeah, he did." I answered.
"So what type are you?" Mark asked.
"Turns out I'm a full blood werewolf with a little fox on the side." I said crossing my arms.
I looked at them and they were completely shocked.
"A-A full blood?" Mark said.
"Is there something bad about a full blood?" I asked.
This time Felicia answered. "No there's nothing wrong about being a full blood. It's just rare." she said.
"Why's that?" I asked.
She was about to answer when Mark cut her off.
"I think that's a subject for another day. Let's get you to your cell so you can get some rest." he said with a smile.
He then led me down a hall with doors that had numbers on them. Mark then stopped in front of a door that had the number 307.
"Your roommate is Jonathan Talbain, he is also a werewolf. He likes to be alone a lot and doesn't really like most humans except for me of course. Plus he is very good friends with Felicia, so if you and Felicia are friends, then you are a friend to him." Mark said unlocking the door.
He then opened it and I was surprised to see what the room looked liked. It had two full sized beds, two dressers and a bathroom. I then saw my roommate working out with some weights while he was sitting on the edge of his bed. He was in his werewolf form and I noticed that he had blue and white fur. He then looked up and looked at Mark.
"Mark, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Just bring you your new roommate." Mark answered as he placed a hand on my shoulder. Jon just raised a furry eyebrow.
"Mark, you know I don't like pranks. Besides why would this kid be placed in a prison with Darkstalkers? I mean what did he do rob a candy store?" Jon said and laughed a little at his own joke.
It also made Mark laugh but not me.
"Why does everybody assume that I'm a kid? I'm 21 dang it!" I thought.
"No, he didn't rob a candy store. The reason he's here is because he is a Darkstalker as well." Mark answered.
Jon raised another furry eyebrow.
"You're pulling my tail." he answered.
"No, seriously he even was able to perform the Dragon Cannon against Dimitri and managed to knock him threw a wall." Mark said.
That got Jon's attention.
"You're telling me that this kid is a werewolf?" Jon said pointing a finger at me.
"Actually, he is. He's also a full blood." Mark answered.
Jon then stood up and walked over to me. He then got down in front of me and grabbed my chin carefully trying not to scratch me with his claws. He turned my head left and right easily and looked into my eyes while I looked into his gold ones. He then noticed my bandaged arm and grabbed it gently.
"For a guy who hates humans and likes to be alone. He sure is gentle and cautious." I thought.
I then noticed that he was slowly unwrapping the bandages on palm. I also noticed that the burn marks criss-crossed one another from my elbow to my wrist and I saw that there was a spiral on my palm that wasn't there before. I then saw Jon trace the spiral with his claw and was whispering a strange language. Then the spiral started glowing a light red and faded away leaving only the burn marks. For some reason Jon smiled as he rewrapped my palm. He then stood back up and patted my head.
"That seal that I removed was the reason you were burned. It was suppose to keep your energy sealed away till you were ready to use it. So when you used the Dragon Cannon before you were ready the seal tried to stop the attack but failed and ended up burning you. We'll start your training once you arm has healed." Jon said.
"You're going to train him?" Mark asked.
"Of course. Anyone who has the guts to go up against Dimitri is my kind of friend." Jon answered.
"He considers me a friend?" I thought.
"Alright, well I'll leave you two to get some rest. Goodnight Jon." Mark said walking out the door and closed it behind him.
After he left it was silent in the room.
"Well I'm going to bed." I said getting under the covers.
"Well today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." I thought.
"That's a good idea because tomorrow we start your training." Jon said getting in his bed and turning out the lights.
"Great." I thought.
Somewhere else in the prison
Five people were watching a recording of the fight between Kyle and Demitri.
"Rewind it a few seconds before the boy uses the Dragon Cannon." a female voice said.
The recording was then rewinded and then was played.
"I told you this boy was special. Just look at the energy spike that came up when he fired the Dragon Cannon!" a male voice said.
"What do you think of him General?" another male voice asked.
General Luke stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"You know precisely what I think, Gill." he said looking at Gill.
Gill just nodded his head.
"How long until he is combat ready?" another male asked.
General Luke just rubbed his head and said "It's hard to say. Maybe a few weeks to a month. Who knows? We've never had a full blood before."
"Give him to me! I think I might be able to tap into that DNA of his to make more of him!" the first male said excited.
"No! You know perfectly well that he is probably the last full blood. Beside you would probably kill him in the process, Johnson." the second male said.
Johnson had an agitated look and looked away.
"This isn't right. Sending a kid into battle. Has our nation become that corrupt." the female said.
"Don't be silly our nation isn't corrupt and besides that boy is a teenager nearly an adult." General Luke said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I want to see him face to face." she said.
It was silent in the room when General Luke spoke.
"You want him to meet your daughter, don't you?" he said.
"Do you think you can have her transferred over by tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yes of course. I believe that they're the same age." General Luke said.
"How is Dean doing?" she asked.
The General just smiled and said "You can find out for yourself tomorrow."
The woman was shock and said "Thank you General; you don't know how much this means to me."
"It's perfectly alright, now you'll each get you chance to meet him tomorrow. For now head home and rest. Dismissed." he said leaving the room.
